Becky G, Grupo Firme, Junior H, Young Miko, Ivy Queen, Arcángel, and many more took the stage at Sueños Music Festival 2023, which took place in Chicago over Memorial Day Weekend (May 27-28).
On Saturday (May 27), Sueños got off to a strong start with performances by Feid, Wisin & Yandel, El Alfa, Ivy Queen, Gera MX and paopao, to name a few.
From the founders of Mexico’s Baja Beach Fest, Sueños made its debut in 2022 with headlining acts J Balvin, Ozuna, and Farruko. Returning acts include Puerto Rican rapper Myke Towers, Dominican dembow star El Alfa, as well as reggaeton pioneers Wisin & Yandel.
For a second year in a row, Wisin & Yandel — or best known as “El Dúo de la Historia” — helped close out the fest. The Puerto Rican hitmakers took fans down memory lane performing all the reggaeton hits such as “Abusadora,” “El Teléfono” and “Pam Pam,” to name a few.
“We’re thrilled to be coming back to Chicago for our second annual Sueños festival,” Aaron Ampudia and Chris Den Uijl, co-founders of Sueños, previously told Billboard Español. “Last year was such a moment, you could feel the energy and excitement from fans no matter where you were at in the festival. It just felt like we were meant to be there, celebrating Latin music and culture with Chicago’s thriving Latino community — and this year we’re bringing even more.”
On Sunday (May 28), artists such as Becky G took the stage and got emotional when she heard fans chanting “Becky, Becky, Becky!” To which she responded, “I just knew today would hit different.”
Firme was in charge of closing day two and Sueños’ second edition, and, in their signature style, they partied hard in Chicago singing anthems such as “En Tu Perra Vida,” “Yo Ya No Vuelvo Contigo” and “Ya Supérame.”
